Cotswold weekend

Spent a weekend in mid October at Cirencester. Excellent location for Cirencester with an option of walking through Cirencester Park to the town or to enjoy the park itself or follow the road into town. Both routes take between 20 and 30 minutes depending on your pace. The site, as one would expect was very clean and well presented. It was full at the time of our visit but there are plenty of wash block facilities which are excellent. If there was ever a blueprint for a shower cubicle design, then this is it at Cirencester. Its a bit of a "thing" of mine when having struggled in some shower cubicles. Peaceful location and friendly, helpful wardens. If there was one observation I would make it is this. If one pitches near the exit barrier/exit road, its a pretty long walk along the roadway (if you want to keep your feet clean in poor weather) to the wash block. A path from the bottom area towards the wash block would be nice, especially as there is a path running from the information hut to an area in some trees. I am always a bit uncomfortable about walking close to pitches, wishing to respect other's space and privacy. Perhaps a second observation is the lack of illumination along some of the roadways after dark. Some lights appeared to be misplaced but as most lighting was from the hook up pillar the positioning of these may be due to other reasons not to effectively illuminate the roadways. It was also nice to see a more flexible approach to parking on pitch when one has a continental habitation door, i.e. on the opposite side to British manufacturers. This flexibility was due to enable the requisite 6m spacing so it is born of necessity rather then perhaps an enlightened approach but he Club, but lets not start that discussion here. An excellent site due to its location and cleanliness.
